Most Critical Review

Garbage

TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2
TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2

Pros: None

Cons: I don't know why this adapter was so highly rated on here and a few other online stores. -Horrible speeds. Not the worst but definitely not great. -Unreliable. The adapter will stop working after a few days of use. I have to actually unplug it and plug it back in to make it work again. -Confusing setup process. Had to uninstall and reinstall so many different versions of the driver to get it to work. The funny thing is some unofficial driver was the one that ended up working for me. -Occasional slow startup - Randomly it will take up to a minute to start working when I turn on my computer. Most of the time it does only take a few seconds.

Overall Review: The only good thing I can say is that their support person was nice and respectful.

Good stuff

Amazing

Pros: Quiet Keeps my overclocked amd cpu cool

Cons: A pain to install but that's easily accepted once you experience the cooling performance.

Overall Review: My stock cooler on my amd processor failed just a few weeks after purchase so I bought one of these and wow what a difference. With this my now overclocked cpu temp doesn't ever leave the safe zone. Thank you CoolerMaster!
